Abstract
As of February 24th, 2020, telephone consultation has been temporarily allowed in order to respond COVID-19 pandemic. This was the first time to allow the teleconsultation using telephone between patients and doctors, and patients and doctors came to experience a telemedicine despite of its temporary adoption during the COVID-19.
This study was conducted to explore the current status of the telephone consultation and to examine its effects on providers and users. For doing it, we first conducted a focus group interview(FGI) and individual in-depth interview (IID) with healthcare providers and users on experiences and acceptance to teleconsultation. Secondly, we performed a comprehensive literature review on issues regarding telemedicine – efficacy(effectiveness), cost-effectiveness, patient’s experiences, and implementation. Lastly, we analyzed the healthcare insurance claims data to examine whether treatment patterns were different between teleconsultations and in-person consultations.
The study found 7,031 healthcare providers offered telephone consultation services, 421,053 patients used at least one telephone consultation service and 561,906 telephone consultation encounters were made during the study period of February 24th to June 30th, 2020. The most frequent diagnoses for telephone consultation were high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, acute bronchitis. The utilization trend of telephone consultation has been with intensity of COVID-19 spread-out and greater in COVID-19 affected areas. We did not find a significant difference in treatment patterns between telephone consultations and in-person consultations. For acute respiratory tract infections, there were no difference in the composition of diagnosis, the number of items prescribed and the rate of antibiotic prescription between telephone consultations and in-person consultations. Days of supply for prescriptions were increased in both telephone consultation and in-person consultation during COVID-19 pandemic, however, the telephone consultation had more increase in days of supply than its counterpart. This is an inconsistent finding with the one from interviews that healthcare providers said to reduce the days of supply in case of teleconsultations for a safety purpose, which requires further analysis and monitoring.
There was a significant gap in acceptance to and satisfaction with telephone consultations between healthcare providers and users. Healthcare service users showed relatively high satisfaction and acceptance to them because of lowering the risk of infections from a direct contact and the convenience. They favored the continuous implementation of telephone consultation even after COVID-19 ends. The high acceptance by patients were internationally found as well. On the other hand, healthcare providers presented low acceptance to telephone consultations in general, raising concerns on safety and effectiveness. However, it is worthy of note that healthcare providers with a sort of guideline provided at the organization level for telephone consultations on type of patients, clear procedure of reservations and check-in, days of supply for prescription, receipt of prescriptions, presented higher acceptance to telephone consultations than those without it.
The study showed that several considerations should be made for the teleconsultation program to guarantee access to cares in effective and safe ways. First, the teleconsultation program needs to be systemized with a clear guideline on the situation and scope. It is also important to streamline procedures for provision of teleconsultations. Adoption of telecommunication technologies enabling visual explanations and observation should be considered as a telephone is the most limited mode of delivering telecommunications. Last but not least, monitoring and evaluation on telecommunications should be implemented to improve patient safety and quality of care.
